Four Plus Three are We: Merry Christmas 2009

We have had such a fun Christmas this year, with 10 little feet scampering around the house! If you happened to stop by our house, you would notice that our tree was only decorated from half-way up this year! With 6 little grabby hands to chase after, we decided to give up the battle in lieu of a poorly decorated tree! It will make for good memories, though! At least we were able to forgo the big gate this year...that's progress, right? Who knows the freedom we will experience next year!

The girls started to get the idea of opening gifts after our first party with Rich's family. Then they couldn't get enough of it and would try to open every gift under the tree for next few parties! They could care less what it was - just wanted to open them! I think they got enough "fake" food to feed a third world country - to go along with their playhouse, and tea party set, kitchen appliances, etc. The will continue to celebrate as their birthday is just 6 days after Christmas! We will have lots more fun to come!

Emma and Luke had a great Christmas, too. In addition to their own toys and gifts - I think they have just as much fun (if not more) playing with their sisters new stuff! Such fun to have little sisters in the house! Luke is determined to master his Ripstick and Emma is excited to try out her fashion design skills with her new Project Runway kit. We had great fun with family and friends and trust you all did the same! My goal for the year ahead is to be a better record keeper through this blog - so I can keep my own memory fresh!
